Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conversations With Walt Whitman During my Philadelphia student days I discovered in the parlor of my relatives - plebeian, philistine grand uncle and aunt of mine; peace be with their souls! - a volume of poetry, I believe, the only one in the house and not remarkable at that, which lay there lonesome as if in state. It had been presented to them by their daughter, who had made a good match by marrying lumber, and in the eyes of the parents was equipped with all those excellent qualities which a modern American lady should possess. The book was cherished accordingly; now and then the mother´s hand glided caressingly over the gold embossed covers, but it was never read. It was an edition of Stoddard´s poems. I perused them, recognized their worth, and laid them aside for ever. I did not know that indirectly through them, I should make the acquaintance of the most American intellectual individuality these States have hitherto produced. It came about in the following way. At that period of life, like Ulrich von Hutten, I was more anxious about my spiritual than bodily welfare, and really abused my body to a shameful degree.
